Resentment + Latent Power Bow Build

[Netsa]

Resentment and Latent Power seem to go really well together, so I decided to make a build that maxes them and see how it goes. Using Zinogre's Helm B, Mail A, and Braces B, with Garuga's Waist B and Rajang's Leg A, with an Attack charm.

"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

Using a bow for it because ranged weapons take a lot of damage, and bowguns don't need the stamina buff. Filling in jewels courtesy of Steamworks, I came up with:

I apologize in advance to anyone who recoiled at the sight of Attack 7 instead of Critical 7.

Except you're not supposed to be getting hit as bow. Latent power is bad because you have to proc it intentionally to make it useful and it only last 90 secs (120 secs for lvl 6 - 7). A better build would be using the Constitution Charm + Dash Juice for your stamina concerns. Then you would be able to still get Elemental Attack 5, Critical Eye 7, and Weakness Exploit 3 giving you close to 90% to 100% Affinity with full up time instead of only 60% with Latent power 7 for 120 secs and only after it's proc'd. Also, Attack up is a trap for all weapons if you don't have 100% affinity unless it's a weapon that utilize Artillery.

How fast does latent power proc with the zinogre armor?

At level 6 or 7, Latent Power activates after taking 120 damage or after 270 seconds. The effect lasts for 120 seconds.

You're not supposed to be getting hit on any weapon, yet it still happens doesn't it? This clearly isn't a super serious DPS build, I thought that was clear from my last sentence about "the sight of Attack 7" and the fact that I was using Latent Power. Though I might replace a couple of the attack points to max crit boost.

Also, fights bound to be more than 10 minutes, doesn't hurt for a little more dps

Resentment sounds a bit pointless, unless you are planning on getting hit a lot to keep the red HP. As a gunner you really don't want that. Latent power is ok.

I paired it with Resentment because the fastest way to proc Latent Power is to take damage. Latent Power by itself is pretty useless, even at 7, since if you're playing well or fighting an easy monster, it takes 4.5 minutes to activate. The point here is to benefit from getting hit.

Resentment seems like it's best in hot or effluvial areas, or if you're taking poison damage, since those things keep your health red. It's not as great in regular fights, but as long as you're not running Recovery Speed, it's a pretty good chunk of base damage...

...now that I write that, that random point of Recovery Speed is now really bothering me.

Sorry to revive this with a double-post, but after playing around with this build a bit, I'm actually pleasantly surprised.

Latent Power 7 lasts long enough that it's uptime is actually really good. I replaced a few points of Attack Boost to max Crit Boost, and put 2 Spread jewels on the mantle, and the damage is just there. Silver's bow has a base affinity of 20%, so as long as LP is active, my crit chance goes to 85%. With Attack Boost and Resentment still active, this build is nothing to scoff at. It misses elemental boosts, but hey.

But I want a resentment + peak performance build tho

Just wait for Safi for all the resentment shenanigans.

Question for latent power.

Question 1: So you got hit for 180 damage, Latent power activate, that's cool. Now it last for 120 sec. After 120 sec pass, do you need to wait for 300 seconds before reactivation, or you can just got hit again to reactivate?

Question 2: Let's say you take 150 damage in a single hit by "Deviljho Slam" and you survived. If you heal, do you need to take whole 180 damage to activate or you just need to take 30 damage?

The latter. The 300 second timer is a seperate possible activation condition. If you fight a monster for that long, Latent Power activates even if you haven't taken any damage.

Healing is irrelevant, Latent Power remembers how much damage you've taken, so yes, you just need to take 30 more damage in that situation.

Latent Power Secret is legitimately really good. Not really worth the Zinogre armor in ultra-optimised terms but for a casual build, it's really solid.

It and Resentment will be even better once Safi releases, because Safi's set bonus allows you to self-damage without actually needing to get hit by a monster.

[Netsa]

Self damage? Dang, I was hoping I could just fight Safi once and ignore him.

Adding onto Lexilogo's answers, which are correct, LP levels 6 and 7 reduce the amount of damage you need to take by a significant amount. The wiki currently says you just need to take 130 damage, as opposed to 180.

It's pretty jank right now since I was missing a lot of the jewels I needed, and I need to farm to replace the charm. Still though, the armor pieces fit and the worst thing was trying to get Zinogre Essence on the bow. Seriously, it took about 40 rolls for it to show up. It will be awesome to see this set at it's full potential.

[OrdoVaelin]

Not bad. Though I feel Latent Power Secret is a bit much. Here's what I run and it works beautifully. All my Safi Bows have full Elemental/Status Awakening https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2044699129
